A Correct answer
Explanation

'Personnel' refers to a department or staff involved in employment/hiring. The sentence means that addressing an application to the personnel manager (HR) instead of an academic department head would not help get a professor position. 'Personal' means private/individual, 'person' is a human being, and 'personification' is a literary device.
